Why Breathwork Is Your Secret Weapon at a Piercing Appointment

Getting a new piercing is exciting, but it can also be a little nerve-wracking. Even if you’re a piercing pro, that split second before the needle goes through always gets your heart racing. But what if there was a simple little hack to help you stay calm, cool, and totally in control? Spoiler alert: there is. It’s called breathwork, and it’s about to be your new best friend.

In this blog post, we’re spilling the tea on how breathwork works, why it’s so good during a piercing, and where you can actually try it out in real life (hint: it involves good vibes, sparkly jewellery, and a piercing party you do not want to miss).

What Even Is Breathwork?

Basically, it’s just you being a little more intentional about how you breathe. Instead of those short, panicky breaths we tend to take when we’re nervous, breathwork is about slowing things down, breathing deep, and letting your body chill out.

Just you, your breath, and a minute or two of calm.

Why It’s a Game-Changer During a Piercing

When you’re about to get pierced, your body can panic a little. Your heart races, your muscles tense, and you might even hold your breath without realising. It’s a totally normal reaction but it makes the whole experience feel a lot scarier than it needs to and holding your breath is not advised.

Breathwork helps you flip that internal switch from “OMG what am I doing?!” to “I’ve got this.”

It literally:

• Calms your nerves

• Slows your heart rate

• Makes the piercing moment feel way less intense

• Keeps your head in the game and your body relaxed

And the best part? You can do it anywhere right there in the piercing chair.
